Daddy Day!!!!

If you are anything like me, you have a pile of your child's paintings laying around because you either can't bear to part with them or you just know you can use them in another craft someday.  For our Father's Day cards this year we used a few of those paintings!  These are really easy to make if you are looking for a last minute gift.  I just took a sheet of card stock, folded it in half and then cut a two inch slit in the middle of the top.  Fold down from the slit so that the card looks like it has a collar and then glue on a tie cut out of your child's painting.  
Write your message inside and you are good to go!
Eva's daddy definitely deserves a wonderful Father's Day.  He is just so full of love for her and spends so much time caring for and teaching her.  She is one very lucky little girl!  He even spent Friday night building a James engine for her to ride in at our neighborhood party today.  What a super dad!

We are Family

With Mother's Day coming up this weekend, I decided to focus on families this week.  Moms, dads and grandparents will be our main focus but cousins may make an appearance as well since Eva will be seeing a bunch of hers this weekend.  Plus our crafts will double as gifts to the grandmas (and maybe even some to put aside for Father's Day too)!

Crafts
Family Portrait- can't wait to see what I look like!  Eva will be drawing her mom, dad, self and her grandparents using various mediums

Family Tree- using photographs of our family members, we will create our own family tree

Activities
Mother and Baby Animal Match Game- we will be bringing back this felt board favorite

Books
